The National Green Hydrogen Roadshow, a collaborative effort between government and Hyphen Hydrogen Energy (Hyphen), has announced the postponement of the Ohangwena, Omusati, Oshana, and Oshikoto cluster meetings. These meetings were originally scheduled to take place between 2 and 5 October 2023. 

“These crucial sessions were designed to encompass Eenhana, Outapi, Oshakati, and Omuthiya, pivotal in our mission to engage communities and share insights about the Hyphen project and the Socio-Economic Development (SED) Framework,” reads a statement from the roadshow organisers. 

The statement added that due to unforeseen circumstances, the postponement decision is regrettable, yet necessary to ensure the participation of all key stakeholders. Due to the postponement, the entire roadshow schedule will be amended. 

“We are committed to rescheduling these cluster meetings at the earliest feasible date to maintain the momentum of our initiative so that the government and Hyphen can continue to inform the nation,” the statement continued. 

The National Green Hydrogen Roadshow, which commenced in August and is scheduled to conclude in November, has garnered widespread interest and participation from diverse communities and stakeholders across the country. The roadshow serves as a platform for the government and Hyphen to interact with communities, showcasing the immense potential of green hydrogen energy and promoting sustainable socio-economic development in Namibia.

Hyphen has committed to announcing the revised dates and locations for the Ohangwena, Omusati, Oshana, and Oshikoto cluster meeting as soon as confirmed, along with the adjusted roadshow schedule.
